The Vue Hotel, an Ascend Hotel Collection Member

For the price, The Vue is a decent place to lay your head, but a few things made it just a little subpar. Pros: Comfortable bed Location is literally a block from the nearest subway station Staff was kind and accommodating Cost is very reasonable if you’re looking for a cheap place to stay that’s close to the city Cons: The partition between the room and the bathroom is all frosted glass. Unless you’re traveling by yourself, this is very awkward and middle-of-the-night bathroom trips illuminates the entire room when you turn the bathroom light on. The room is small, but hey, it’s NY. The bed pillows are not standard size but like square throw pillows. The window only has a sheer curtain so sleeping in in the morning is difficult. The room’s cleanliness was just ok. Carpet needed to be vacuumed. I would consider staying again if I were traveling alone and just needed a cheap place to sleep, but otherwise would probably stay somewhere else.

Good experience in a newer boutique hotel in LIC. Great price through Hotels.com. Neighborhood a bit gritty but I like gritty sometimes. Kinda far away from stores, restaurants etc. and not recommended that you walk too far after dark. Staff was very helpful in getting food delivered. 1 block from the f train and about 10 minutes and 4 stops to 42nd st. The close proximity to Manhattan make this place a bargain.

Got fed up with AirBnB and had to reserve last minute. I was raised in Long Island City and the location couldn't be better. walking distance to all public transportation. Over the bridge and your in Manhattan. It was very surprising to see a hotel down the block from my old school. You couldn;t miss the hotel because of the prigth green paint. Which I liked the idea of it standing out of all the other similar building. Upon entering I was surprise to see it is smaller than your normal hotel. However, when I was given access to the room. I couldn't believe the ammenties like free breakfast, which wasn't continental. Hot waffles are a good way to start the morning in a very expensive place like NYC. The modern design and king size bed was quite comfortable for the price. what I enjoyed was the cable access and the incredible shower head they have in each room. It was a shower that was much deserved after dealing with Host cancelling last minute. In a place like NYC this would be way better than paying less and being in Bushwick or Bed Sty. Never again. I'll make sure to check with The Vue on my next trip back home.

Everything was great... I just wish the bathroom shower could close or more bath mats were provided. Other than that it was a great stay. Great location, friendly staff and super quiet.

A small, cute hotel with great views from floors 7 and up. The beds were comfortable, and I have mad appreciation for the automatic black-out curtains. Only 2 issues I experienced the whole time. First, the shower took a really long time to get to hot water, then once it finally started to get a little hot, it was hard to make it not burn you. Then, the minor gripe of only having thick throw pillows rather than any standard size/standard thickness bed pillows. But all in all, a great stay, and I would happily stay again
